Is it okay to ask for the credit due you for the work that you have done, or is it the ones that know how to steal and take over ideas the best that deserve to take all the credit for them?

Give credit where credit is due! If done by two, two should get credit, if done by a group, the group should get the credit.
I have this to add though, personally do not stress myself too much if there is a person who's sole intent is to grab credit. I just work hard and diligently and I am happy enough to know that I've put in an honest day's work for an honest day's pay. And in reality, you will get what you deserve. These credit grabbers are usually known to be just that by employers or whoever they are trying to impress.
Keep putting in your all!! don't be discouraged.

Did you do it for the credit? People are usually much more receptive to someone who is a team player. That doesn't mean you shy in a corner about the things you have done to complete a project, but it doesn't step on anyone's toes either. Credit should be given as a team or partnership instead of one trying to steal the lime-light. There is also an element of paying one's dues. If your supervisor for instance is taking the credit...he / she delegated the project to be done in the first place and you simply did your job. His success is reflected by the people he has working for him.

You would definitely take credit for finishing it. However, if it wasn't your idea in the first place you should give them a mention, but they may not want any credit for starting a project they weren't able to finish.

It is always a very good deed to emphasize the huge debt that you have towards someone who started something that you have finished or improved upon. And so you may honestly say how constructive or good you think your contribution is meant to be to the improvement of the work.
Stealing is never good. See, I have this computer of mine which I use for whatever it can be used to. This computer is mine. I put some of my money aside in order to be able to buy this computer. It was a beautiful feeling to be able to buy this computer in the shop where I bought it. The shop people shook hands with me and warmly wished me good luck with it, and they said I should not hesitate to contact them if there were any problems about it.
Now let's suppose that I had stolen this computer, or even bought it cheap from the hands of a thief, or bought it from stolen money. Whenever I looked at the computer I would have in my mind the thought that I had stolen it, that I was a thief, that I was the like of thieves. I guess that that feeling would haunt med, burden me, make me suffer a lot, and poison my life, and make me wish to get rid of this computer so that I might get rid of the pain and of the thought of being one with the ilk of thieves. I hope you see what I mean.
When you have a text in front of you, and you honestly believe that the text was composed by you, you may be proud of it. But it is quite possible that you got some inspiration, some materials from other authors, and so it would be beautiful to be able to quote your indebtedness towards them and to concretely be ready to share your thankfulness, and the revenue, if any, with them.

Give credit where credit is due.
Although, use discretion when demanding credit be given you, sometimes the hassle is not worth it, choose your battles wisely knowing that making an enemy will only hurt worse than losing some credit.

He who has done it deserves the credit. And if you have done it with someone else, you share the credit.

Nobody can take all the credit for anything. All our achievements are shared by the parents who raised us, the teachers who taught us, the doctors who healed us, etc etc. Every act performed by every individual adds to the sum of the world's achievements. (good and bad)

If you are the originator, YOU deserve the credit.

It depends if you don't have self-esteem or you do . If you have respect for yourself, you would share the credit, simple as this.
